Rome Cable Special to the BALTIC American, March IL.
The congregation Of the Holy ONCE Is now dis
cussng the reports OF Cardinal Gibbons and Mon
s1gnor StranierO, concerning the Knights OF Labor
In the United States and Canada. A decision In
the matter is not expected for a long time. The
best informed sources agree that distinction
must be made between the members OF the order
are the same and the vatican will be found to look
favorably on the Knights SO far as they use peace
full measures to secure better condition among
the working classes for which the order was or
gained. 1t will, however, speak In no uncertain
sounds against the use of violence, and will COM
mend ar6itration as one OF the means 10 settle
disputes between employers and employees. Inc
congregation considering the question Is next 10
the most important In the vatican, and Is gener,
any presided over by the pope himself inciuoea
In the congregation, besides several cardinals are
number OF secular and regular clergy, all OF
whom act as cOnSultOrS.
THE M'GLYNN AFFAIR
was brought up again to-day at the vatican. but
nothing definite in regard to it could be learned,
except from Cardinal Simeoni, who stated that
the announcement that his holiness had cabled his
benedict1on to the doctor was incorrect, fnasmuch
"a; the blessing was intended for the alumnuS and
the faithful or the parish. He further explained
That the cabegram was sent, according to custom,
III response to greetings from the congregation
10 the pope on the occasion OF the creation and
coronation. TO send blessing to Dr; McGlyh M
after the latter had deied the authorities here by
dlSobey1ng summons to come to Rome, and In
the lace OF the action OF Archbishop COrr1gan,
ton, would indeed be considered something
entirely new for Rome. Such proceeding would
not only imply that the pope desired to humiliate
the archbishop OF New York, but that he also
wished to publicly condole with DR.. McGynn in
the complications which have arisen out or his
present position. 1t is generally acknowledged
Dr. McGiynn will have so visit Rome before ne
can be allowed to resume his priestly functions
NOTES FROM THE VATICAN.
MOnsignOr Vanutelli, nuncio at Vienna, will I'M
doubtedly be made papal secretary OF state, TO
succeed Cardinal Jacobini, but Pope Leo will not
make the appointment until after a settlement Of
the religious question with Germany, in which the
pope himself Is now conducting all OF the negOt1a-
ions His holiness will continue the policy as
outlined by Cardinal Jacobini. TO transfer the
matter at this stage to q new secretary might re-
tard its success.
Cardinal Gibbons will be rendered a dinner at
the american college on Sunday, March 2Oth at
Whch quite number OF other cardinals, as well
as Bishop Ireland and Bishop Keane, are expected
10 De present. The dinner will be given In honor
OF Cardinal Gibbons visit to Rome and as recog-
milton OF his high position in the church. Since
his advent here he has become almost as well
known as he is in Baltimore.
After the public consistory, Cardinals Gibbons
and Taschereau will probably be appointed as
members OF the congregation OF extraordinary &C.
cleSlaStcal affairs. To this congregation is COM
mitted the consideration of the cOncordats which
are entered into by the holy with the Catholic
powers or the world, and also the negotiations re-
speeding them.
1t has been decided by his holiness not to ap-
point cOadjutOr archbishop for Baltimore, as
Garulna Gibbons feels that he is able TO attend to
all the episcopal duties OF the archdiocese. Among
those who were spoken OF for the position were
BlShOp keane, OF Richmond: Rev. DR.. John s.
Foley, OF Baltimore, and Rev. DR.. Denis j. OCOn-
Eel, rector OF the American college at Rome.
Pope Leo was quite sick yesterday, and had to
remain in his room all day. This afternoon it is
reported that he is little better. II it should
prove that his holiness is seriously 1ndiSpOSed, the
consistOry OF Monday will have to be postponed.
Cardinal Gibbons left Rome to-day for the sea-
shore to recuperate. He will make an extensive
tour OF Europe before returning to America.
Among other places he expects to visit st. Peters,
burg. Cardinal TaSchereau Will leave Rome on
March Goth for Havre, whence he will sail for New
York by the French line Of steamers on March
26th.
